2 The Baptism of the Lord, January 13, 2019 Page 2 We invite you to be a Sharing Member Register, Participate and Share your Gifts and Talents. The Baptism of the Lord January 13, 2019 He saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5 CALLED TO SERVE For many weeks now, we have been celebrating the appearance of the divine presence in human form. As a child, he came to Mary and Joseph, was seen by the shepherds, and then by some wandering magi from the East. Today we celebrate another showing, later in time, to a group gathered at the Jordan River. John hesitated to baptize Jesus, whom he recognized as one mightier than I. But he did as Jesus asked, and the Holy Spirit descended and heaven s voice spoke to Jesus, You are my beloved Son. Jesus was beginning his public life of teaching and service. Soon he would start calling others to join him. Peter was one of the first to be called by Jesus. In today s second reading, he announces the heart of the message, peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. Peter was called, and you and I are called to spread that message and to serve God s word. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

6 The Baptism of the Lord, January 13, 2019 Page 6 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Merry Christmas! Share that cheerful greeting with some folks today. They may wonder if you have had any Elvis sightings lately, attended Star Trekkie conventions, or were Cleopatra in a previous lifetime. Despite the skeptics, today is solidly within the Christmas season. In fact, in some strands of the Christian tradition it represents the clearest manifestation of the mystery of the Incarnation. On Christmas Day, for example, the Gospel reading is the Prologue of John s Gospel, which reveals the glory of Christ shining through our humanity precisely in his baptism. At any rate, this is an ancient feast, celebrated first in Egypt sixteen centuries ago. More than most other ancient people, the Egyptians understood the life giving properties of water. On this day, they drew water from the Nile, so central in the history of their people, and reserved it in honor. Many other places copied the custom, so that St. John Chrysostom wrote of people in Antioch gathering at midnight to collect flowing water into vessels they brought from home since today there is a blessing on the water. At home for dinner tonight, decorate the table with beautiful bowls of water and white candles, toast one another with goblets of sparkling water, and light a Christmas candle in the window one last time.

7 The Baptism of the Lord, January 13, 2019 Page 7 Preparing students to become engaged citizens of the world During the next three weeks, students will be tested with one of the key indicators of academic growth, which is the Renaissance STAR assessment tool. Test results will inform teachers about the impact of their instruction, and guide them in making adjustments to best meet the needs of each student. STAR is aligned to the California Common Core Standards that are used by the elementary schools in the Diocese of San Diego. The assessment is nationally normed and highly respected in the education field. The STAR assessment is administered to students 2nd through 8th grade in math and reading three times a year via a tablet or computer. While only one measure, STAR provides valuable information that will contribute towards more effective instruction. This month, the 6 th grade class will be heading to Astro Camp! This space and science camp located in Idyllwild gives students the opportunity to learn about astronomy, rocketry, space exploration, scuba microgravity, physical science labs, electricity and magnetism. Hopefully they will even have some snow to enjoy before returning to school. Save the date for our Open House on Thursday evening, January 31st at 6pm. Both the preschool and the Academy will be open. See Workshop Way strategies in action! On Our Way to Bethlehem Christmas musical was a gift for all the families that attended the evening performance. Students raised their own money for the CRS Gift of Hope outreach program for
